To make realistic resolutions which are possible. Comparing one man's determination to change with the perpetual corruption and rampant lies spewed by the 'so called' leaders of our Republic. Existential possibilities are omnipresent and the people responsible have abandoned virtue, honesty and loyalty. So me as one person will make my resolutions and strive to fulfill them and continue to enhance and refine my thinking by continuing to subscribe and absorb as much as possible from this great Classical forum!

Reading all this helps me to re look at we’re I’m going and each year there is a subtle change in how I approach my life hopefully for the better. My experience is renewed in little steps toward being me. Thank you happy learning new year peace and love. Helen Donnelly

Beautifully said. I think realising how small changes can have a big impact takes away the anxiety and pressure of change as well. Start small and see what happens :D

Setting realistic expectations with a goal of further reducing my carbon footprint by shredding paper goods. I succeeded last year in my weight loss goal by going plant based for diet and found this also saved $ and reduced trash (down to approx. 12" x12" a week) which were also nice side effects!

Excellent point! I think taking the time to really consider what are your priorities - versus say what you think is expected of you - makes a huge difference. In what ways can we be better people? Rather than aiming to look or be someone else.
